From the Lapwing Publications guidelines:
REMEMBER: keep writing, that’s what writers do, other people only talk about it.
REMEMBER: whilst the majority of poetry published and purchased is from the past and sometimes far into the past, it is important that new poetry is also read and it helps if someone buys a few copies.
REMEMBER: there are over 100,000 books published each year in the UK and Ireland out of about 500,000 publications, from the Mr.Men to The Star, The Sun, other daily and weekly newspapers, journals and magazines of all kinds. It is impossible for any shop to stock all the really fine NEW literature as well as the old public domain favourites and poetry fares badly because not enough people buy it, and its sales have slowed right down almost to a dead stop. Try finding poetry among all the lifestyle and ‘celebrity’ publications.
